Indian food is terrible

[Baron von Lotsov]

Try Mexican if you are fed up with curries.



When I'm cooking up some vegetables I like to put some of this Mexican chipotle paste in with it. It's hot stuff, but you get a Mexican flavour rather than an Indian one.

Is beans on toast really international?

You can buy curried baked beans, so I would think the answer is yes

Luverly - my go to when I can't be bovvered. Cheese underneath and an egg on top makes it my food of comfort - can't beat it!

Thank you brought back a very distant memory of my youth ,  Mum would put a small mound of mashedf potatoes on a plate with baked beans surrounding , then she would make a hallow in the spuds with the back of a spoon and put a poached egg  in it, my sister and I called it a volcano dinner as the egg yoke ran down the spuds.



Happy Days back then, difficult times yes but simpler times

So whats your favourite international dish  and  do you cook it yourself.

Beans on toast. Heat beans and put on buttered toast

Is beans on toast really international? I thought the UK consumes more cans of baked beans than the rest of the world combined — although Native Americans were the originator of this delight...

To complicated for me

I think he means beef bourgignon,understandable though as his woman does all the cooking  

That's probably the one. My French is crap.

I like a good paella, but they are few and far between. the best we have had have been home made.

However we have an exceptional local Indian restaurant which we have eaten at almost every month for the last 4-5 years. I find their lamb biriani hard to beat.

Have you got that right — are you really into quaffing alcoholic gravy...?

Yes I like that and another one from the French is beef bouillon in red wine.

For me it has to be Coq au Vin — it's delicious and easy and a wonderful seduction dish !!!

Pollo en tomate.



Boil a capon covered in water with a couple of Spanish onions, salt pepper and garlic to taste - slowly! When cooked remove chicken etc and strain stock for soup adding salt etc as needed. It cures everything!

Break up onions and chicken and put in pan with a couple of tins of tomatoes and heat. YUM!!!



Each time I make it I am transported back to Boxing Day as a child. My Mother would cook English style on Christmas Day so Dad wouldn't feel hard done by, but this would be my favourite.
